First ill preface that I know i am REALLY spoiled to even have a wfh job. Im honestly amazed something like this exists.

Which leads me to my question. Im good at my job, its a great company, I get nothing but good feedback. But honestly, its easy. Really if anyone wanted to learn, they could do it. I feel guilty pretty much everyday at how easy it is. But the fact that its easy also makes it really difficult to put in 45 hours of real work. I try to use some of the time for educational videos or something related to work but honestly with my adhd mind, 9 hours is a lot unless im SUPER busy.

All my previous work has been jobs running around all day, fixing problems, managing people, which I dont want to go back to necessarily but sometimes I miss it. I work very well in chaos.

I have tried meds to zoink me out and they do work, but I prefer not to be dependent.

    I second the other commenter. WFH is different from office. I have a very “heads-down” job, so a bit different from you. At the office there are constant distractions, people coming up and talking to me, going to get coffees, long lunches. Think about how much work you really got done in an office, real actual work.

    That’s why WFH it’s not about being constant full-bore all day. Instead it’s about getting yourself into hyper-focus mode for a few hours. In 3 hours of hyper-focus mode at home I could get done an entire’s day worth of work at an office. If you can set that bar and be comfortable with what you got done, then you can be more chill the rest of the day.
